Make skins exported from CS4 work

[jeroen]

I was investigating the CS4 compiling issue, and I think I have a workaround.

When CS3 exports a SWF from an FLA, it generates class names for the MovieClips based on their symbol name (e.g. "player_fla::button_25"). However, CS4 doesn't do this for unlinked symbols - they become generic MovieClips ("flash.display::MovieClip"), and when you instantiate a new one, it's just a plain old empty MovieClip. However, if you provide a linkage name in CS4, that name will be used as the class name, and you can instantiate any number of them, as before.

Therefore, in order to get our skins working with CS4, all we have to do is set linkages for any clips we want to clone.

Fixed by linking the playlistButton and linkButton.

(the linkButton is named controlbarLinkButton)

Now a new problem pops up: the buttons that are replicated are not the ones from the skin but the ones from the original player (since flash doesn't override Class definitions but only appends). So this fix doesn't seem to work.

import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;

...

var clsname:String = getQualifiedClassName(view.skin['display']['bufferIcon']);
var cls:Class = view.skin.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(clsname) as Class;
var newClip:MovieClip = new cls();

Added the change, still have to test in CS4.

The code is in the player. It doesn't have the classdefinition issue with CS3 exported skins anymore. Can you test if CS4 - exported skins with linked symbols do work now?
